[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) Even though we have been buying and selling in one way or another throughout the history of the United States, commercial contract law as a formal entity is less than a hundred years old. Prior to that time individual states might determine what constituted a contract, but that might very from state to state. However as states began dealing with each other in a contractual manner, or as business cross state lines more and more, some sort of uniform body of law was needed concerning commerce.
